“…The sister branch A1a2 is formed by mitogenomes from different regions of Southern Europe (Italy, Albania, and Greece), including the second mitogenome (#14) from the Rimini strain, the previously published Chinese sequence [#17, KR068634 (Zhang et al, 2015)] and the mitogenome (#20) from the Chinese Foshan strain, a laboratory-maintained colony founded in 1981 from mosquitoes from Southeast China. It is worth mentioning that the presence of two distinct haplotypes in different subjects of the Rimini laboratory-maintained strain, one belonging to A1a1a1 and the second to A1a2a1, reveals that at least two females contributed to the genetic formation of the strain.…”

“…For the phylogeny construction, the entire coding region variation of all mitogenomes was included as well as some control region mutations (see “Material and Methods”). The published sequences (#17 and #27, Table 1 ) are from the Jiangsu Province, China (Zhang et al, 2015) and from Taipei, Taiwan, respectively. The mitogenome from a mosquito of the Italian Rimini strain (#1, marked by the arrow) was employed to number the mutations shown on the branches.…”

“…The nuclear genome of the tiger mosquito from two laboratory strains, the Italian Fellini (an isofemale line derived from the Rimini strain; Bellini et al, 2007; Dritsou et al, 2015) and the Chinese Foshan strain (Chen et al, 2015), was recently published, but only two complete mitogenomes (∼16.7 kb) are available in GenBank, from Taiwan (Asian tiger mosquito Reference Sequence, NC006817) and from Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, China (KR068634; Zhang et al, 2015). Despite the availability of mitogenomes, virtually all A. albopictus mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) surveys were restricted to short segments of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (COI) and/or NADH dehydrogenase subunit 5 (ND5) genes, suggesting a limited phylogeographic differentiation among populations, possibly also caused by the inclusion in these studies of laboratory stocks or sibling eggs (Delatte et al, 2011; Kamgang et al, 2011, 2013; Porretta et al, 2012; Zhong et al, 2013; Zawani et al, 2014; Futami et al, 2015) and the postulated cytoplasmatic sweep caused by Wolbachia infection (Armbruster et al, 2003).…”

The Worldwide Spread of the Tiger Mosquito as Revealed by Mitogenome Haplogroup Diversity

et al. 2016

In the last 40 years, the Asian tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus, indigenous to East Asia, has colonized every continent except Antarctica. Its spread is a major public health concern, given that this species is a competent vector for numerous arboviruses, including those causing dengue, chikungunya, West Nile, and the recently emerged Zika fever. To acquire more information on the ancestral source(s) of adventive populations and the overall diffusion process from its native range, we analyzed the mitogenome variation of 27 individuals from representative populations of Asia, the Americas, and Europe. Phylogenetic analyses revealed five haplogroups in Asia, but population surveys appear to indicate that only three of these (A1a1, A1a2, and A1b) were involved in the recent worldwide spread. We also found out that a derived lineage (A1a1a1) within A1a1, which is now common in Italy, most likely arose in North America from an ancestral Japanese source. These different genetic sources now coexist in many of the recently colonized areas, thus probably creating novel genomic combinations which might be one of the causes of the apparently growing ability of A. albopictus to expand its geographical range.

The arbovirus vectors Aedes aegypti (yellow fever mosquito) and Ae. albopictus (Asian tiger mosquito) are both common throughout the Indo-Pacific region, where 70% of global dengue transmission occurs. For Ae. aegypti all Indo-Pacific populations are invasive, having spread from an initial native range of Africa, while for Ae. albopictus the Indo-Pacific includes invasive populations and those from the native range: putatively, India to Japan to Southeast Asia. This study analyses the population genomics of 480 of these mosquitoes sampled from 27 locations in the Indo-Pacific. We compared patterns of genetic differentiation to investigate pathways of invasion and ongoing gene flow in both species, and to infer potential native-range boundaries and cryptic subspecies in Ae. albopictus. We also tested landscape genomic hypotheses that genetic differentiation would increase with geographical distance and be lower between locations with high connectivity to human transportation routes, the primary means of dispersal at these scales. We found that genetic distances were generally higher in Ae. aegypti, with Pacific populations the most highly differentiated. The most differentiated Ae. albopictus populations were in Vanuatu, Indonesia and Sri Lanka; the latter two may represent ancestral native-range populations or cryptic subspecies, respectively. Genetic distances in Ae. aegypti increased with geographical distance, while in Ae. albopictus they decreased with higher connectivity to human transportation routes. Contrary to in Ae. aegypti, we found evidence of long-distance Ae. albopictus colonisation events, including of Mauritius from East Asia and of Fiji from Southeast Asia. Our direct genomic comparisons indicate likely differences in dispersal ecology in these species, despite their phylogenetic proximity, broadly sympatric distributions and similar use of human transport to disperse. Our findings will assist biosecurity operations that aim to trace the source of invasive material and for biocontrol operations that benefit from matching genetic backgrounds of released and local populations.

BACKGROUND: Insecticides are still the main method of mosquito control, but mosquito resistance presents a large obstacle. The function of mitochondrial genes in the evolution of insecticide resistance is still poorly understood. Pyrethroid is the most commonly used insecticide, and Anopheles sinensis is an important malaria vector in China and Southeast Asia. In this study, we investigated the mitochondrial genes associated with pyrethroid resistance through their genetic and expression variation based on analyses of transcriptomes and 36 individuals with resequencing in three geographical populations in China. RESULTS:The nucleotide diversity (Pi) in 18 resistant individuals was much lower than that in 18 susceptible individuals, which suggests that some sites experienced purifying selection subject to pyrethroid stress. Ka/Ks and amino acid analyses showed that ND4 experienced positive selection and had 23 amino acid mutations due to pyrethroid stress. These mutations might change the ND4 structure and function and thus alter the efficiency of the respiratory chain. ND5 was significantly upregulated, and ATP8 was significantly downregulated in these three pyrethroid resistant populations, which suggests that these two genes function in the production and maintenance of pyrethroid resistance. There are differences in mitochondrial genes involved in pyrethroid resistance among these three populations.CONCLUSION: This is the first study to reveal the association of mitochondrial genes in the evolution of insecticide resistance through amino acid mutation and expression patterns and can help us further understand insecticide resistance mechanisms.
